or the six-inch meatball marinara, built fresh from the bread up for just $2 each all december long. subway. eat fresh. games left at candlestick park. the seahawks tomorrow and then the falcons, monday night football on the 23rd. we put together a compilation of former and current players. here are their memories starting with jerry rice. >> the receiver taken us out of the game. then he came and said we will let you do it tonight. we ran out on the field and everybody in the stadium knew what was coming. i remember tim brown was halfway on the field.

he was pissed. jerry, are you not going to do this to us on monday night. we were able to break the record. i remember steve young, and it was not a spiral. it was a duck, steve. i still made my quarterback look good and fought for the ball. >> there's many. the one that stands out is the come back playoff win against the giants. the second is the overtime win against the jets. i can go on and on. a lot of great memories in candlestick. a lot of history made in that stadium. definitely going to miss being a part of a 49er history. having a great career there. >> certainly in my mind the greatest game that has ever been played in candlestick certainly in the last 20 years since 1994 the 1994 championship from an emotional standpoint every bit of energy and every bit of emotion and every bit you have is truly

left on the field and not just the players, but the fans my mind sticks out as the greatest individual game. >> this is the way it started. it all started for me. it is going to be tough to leave here. but there is another side. 24r* is another side and another place for it. >> now my best memories, my first nfl start on monday night against the steelers in 1978. they killed us. they won their third super bowl of the decade. 1979 and next to last game of the season and we had one game in bill walsh's first season as head coach. we were never on tv back then. i caught this touchdown and tampa played in that game against the rams. i let him have his first spike. we carried bill walsh off the

field. i for one am going to miss candlestick. stanford is on their way to the 100th rose bowl. they defeat arizona state. arizona state is 7-0 this season, but stanford took control. tyler gafney and what a year he has had. the longest rushing td of the year. 7-0 cardinals. gafney ran for 133 yards. fourth and goal. and they win their second consecutive pac-12 championship title. they are headed to pasadena. it is the 100th rose bowl game on january 1st. >> we had two bumps in the road and a lot of people wrote us off after that. our seniors in particular, you heard our seniors never batted an eyelash and never stopped believing. they said let's keep our head down and win as many games as we can. at the end of the year, going to the rose bowl.

>> ohio state and michigan and buckeyes are on the way to the national championship. i would say he is open. 72-yard touchdown. it is 10-0. they are now up 17-0 and buckeyes will claw their way back. quarterback braxton miller and second rushing touchdown of the day. buckeyes take the lead. fourth quarter and sparty with the lead trying to run out the clock. 26-yard score and he ends ohio state's win streak 34-24 the final and michigan state will face stan in order in the rose bowl. it is a shot of the national title game. it is off to a slow start. winston to benjamin and 14-yards and 7-0noles. you a 12-yard run and he earns it. noles on top 14. winston finds benjamin again. 54 yards and three td's and the seminoles win it big 45-7. they are on their way to the

national title game. their opponent to be determined probably auburn. this sports report is brought to you by riverwalk casino. i will say everyone's most famous memory would be beating dallas in the championship game. >> i love the video of dwight hugging you. you probably figure he will finally stop complaining about not getting the ball. they threw it to you. >> exact. >> it worked out
